THE COMING OF THE INDIGENT-African wise-barbaric



Having emerged from the pleasant absurdity of exercising my mind by crafting an African piece, formalities are therefore a prologue with which fondness is express.

I had planned to write a rather long introduction to this book`s series, but a quick search in my PDF books library on my computer brought down the most exquisite piece that then quickly overruled my decision.


“Most people write me off when they see me. They do not know my story. They say I am just an African. They judge me before they get to know me. What they do not know is The pride I have in the blood that runs through my veins; The pride I have in my rich culture and the history of my people; The pride I have in my strong family ties and the deep connection to my community; The pride I have in the African music, African art, and African dance; The pride I have in my name and the meaning behind it. Just as my name has meaning, I too will live my life with meaning. So you think I am nothing? Don’t worry about what I am now, For what I will be, I am gradually becoming. I will raise my head high wherever I go Because of my African pride, And nobody will take that away from me.”


The Indigent will be a weekly publication on all my platforms


The first episode will be published on Friday 09 2020
